The horror!

My Z was 7 years old with 18,000 on the clock when I bought it.

I didn't rejoice about how few miles it had, I just drove it :)

Nearly four years on it's just under 70,000 thanks to lots of UK and European road trips.

I think it's still in great nick, even though I've ploughed nearly 50,000 on it

I just couldn't let it sit in the garage like a lot of you guys do, I find it quite odd!

Wish I had the time to drive it every week. But sadly I don't unless I start using it for work which would add about 2k a month of motorway miles which seems a waste to me

Get a few more euro roadtrips in then

The 3.0 is great to drive so I can only imagine the 3.2 even better

Just seems a shame to a have such a nice car locked up with no playtime

Don't do it. Remember your holiday to the SW, plan a Euro trip that will be 10x better. And take it to work every once in a while just for the hell of it. I know Stu didn't intend on using his as much as he has, but he's loving it.

its an 06 so 2k a year on average! .... i bought it in september 2012 on 12.5kI miles. I wouldnt say its neglected or unloved at all. quite the opposite, given the low mileage ive spent a fair bit keeping it mint. In the summer i use it for high days and holidays only, not as a daily hack. it doesnt want for anything, it does need a clean though. i took that pic on its first drive since October last year. I dont think i'd driven it since 24th October when it had an oil and brake service at BMW. I do wonder if im insane keeping it, but when i do drive it, it all makes sense :driving:

it's OK.. I get it.... you're not the only one.... I'm the same with my bike.

one year I only done 5 miles in it... down to the MOT station and back...

but I'll never sell it, and when I'm out on it, it all makes sense.... lol

I have been having the same dilema due to lack of use,sell/don't sell.
Road tax and a oil service/brake fluid change due very soon only managed a couple of thousand miles last year :( :( .
At the moment she is sitting at 23300 miles on a 07 plate.

Yup :D Still only 14K on the clock though. I've put 8K on it in a year. Weekends, and the occasional "take the toy to work" day when it's sunny.

Send you a PM tomorrow.
